My heart goes out to Tony Dungy who just last year lost his oldest son to suicide. This has to feel so good for him emotionally. Then again I'm sure it rips his heart not being able to share this great moment with his beloved son, James.

Tony Dungy is a wonderful man, coach and Christian. I'm so proud he's humbly leading our COLTS to victory and our country through history as one of the first black coaches to make it to the Super Bowl. One of the first black coaches... because this year TWO black coaches leave their marks on football history! (I say "black" because my daddy doesn't like to be called "African American"...) Lovie Smith said it best, "I hope for a day when it is unnoticed... but that day isn't here."

Woo hoo!! I'm thrilled, too! Coach Dungy and Peyton are both class acts (unlike a certain opposing coach and quarterback I could name, but won't.), and I'm just so happy for them. A little sad for Dungy, too, as I'm sure he's going to think often during this time how much he'd love to share this with his son. :(

My hubby just told me to tell you Kimmy..that not to worry because HIS BEARS are going to WIN anyway!! smile..my husband came out of the womb cheering for DA BEARS; DA CUBS and DA BULLS!! We are from Illinois!! He is so excited that he can hardly stand himself!!

... and I'm surfin' through life on a baby blue couch watchin' digital cable and movies Blockbuster enjoys sending me through the mail.
And on a good day I spend time blogging or catching up on my e-mail (my inbox shows 987 unread email messages. Yikes!)
P.S. I'm not just lazy... I'm in constant pain.
